Why do they arrogantly call it "Disney DVD"?
Disney did not create the DVD format.

Indeed, the paranoid "sue anybody at the drop of a hat for even vaguely infringing on our crappy material" company was one of the companies who WAITED to jump on the DVD bandwagon!

What a bunch of pansyasses.

1. You wonder when the original Star Wars trilogy will be released on DVD?
I sure do.

George Lucas thinks there's no profit in releasing it on DVD right now, though he's released them on VHS and Laserdisc about 500,000 times over... :eyes:

3. Because they're not DVD's
Disney doesn't follow the DVD standards and specifications in some way (no, I don't know how exactly). . . and so they cannot use the DVD Video label that is on every other DVD. . . so they're Disney DVDs.
